+=head1 NAME
+
+i3-wsbar - sample implementation of a standalone workspace bar
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+i3-wsbar -c <dzen2-commandline> [options]
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<--command> <command>
+
+This command (at the moment only dzen2 is supported) will be started for each
+output. C<%x> will be replaced with the X coordinate of the output.
+
+Example:
+ --command "dzen2 -dock -x %x"
+
+=item B<--input-on> <list-of-RandR-outputs>
+
+Specifies on which outputs the contents of stdin should be appended to the
+workspace bar.
+
+Example:
+ --input-on "LVDS1"
+
+=item B<--output-on> <list-of-RandR-outputs>
+
+Specifies for which outputs i3-wsbar should start C<command>.
+
+=item B<--show-all>
+
+If enabled, all workspaces are shown (not only those of the current output).
+Handy to use with C<--output-on>.
